Answer:

a) Mid ocean ridges

Explanation:

  • The mid-oceanic ridges underling the hot asthenosphere which creates a depression that causes the melting of the peridotites at shallow depths. As they rise that results in mafic magma and this only takes place at divergent boundaries.
  • Here the plates sperate and move away, causing magma below to rise and ill spaces of low pressure. The rocks then cool and new crust is firmed. The mafic rocks crystallize at higher temperatures and pressure.

Trade winds in the northern hemisphere Blow from:
quester [9]

The correct answer is - east to west.

The trade winds are located between the Equator and the mid-latitudes, or rather in the tropical zone. They are found on both, the North Hemisphere and the South Hemisphere.

In the North Hemisphere, the trade winds are also called northeasterly trades. They move in a roughly east to west direction, beginning from the northern parts of the tropical zone, getting southwards, and then make a turn towards the west.
